ELKHART – Elkhart is continuing its efforts to deal with vacant, unsafe buildings.
City leaders say the condition of the Elkhart Armory building downtown has gone from bad to worse, but the city has obtained the building and is now trying to figure out what to do with it.
Appearances can be deceiving. From the outside, the building doesn't look too bad. But once inside, you get a better feel about it.
On the first level, most recently a liquor store, the floors are buckling, ceilings cracking and trash is everywhere.
The second floor, which once held a roller skating rink, is the result partially of a leaky roof.
"It is in disrepair," said Elkhart Economic Development Director Barkley Garrett. "It is starting to become a safety concern, so that's one of the reasons that the city wanted to get involved, sooner, rather than later.
There have been no takers for the building as it looks right now. So, the city bought the north parking lot as a separate parcel. Then, the building was donated by the previous owner.
The next step for the city is to find out if it would be worthwhile to renovate the building and see if there were any takers for it. If not, most likely, the city would decide to probably have it demolished and then find out if there were any takers for a prime piece of riverfront real estate there.
"This will be a great location, whether the private sector gets the building and rehabs the building, or if the building goes away and a new development happens at a later point," Garrett said.
Stan Glanders owns a business across the street.
"Looking at it every day, I think the highest and best use would be to knock it down and put something more conducive to the size of the lot," Glanders said. "The building is way too big for the size of the lot. It's dated. It's in terrible shape."
The city points out the downtown location is right along the riverwalk on North Main St. It would be the only prime piece of real estate left available along the river.

4 years away from being born...
when the 68 special came on. I was at home watching with my brother. he and I were the only real elvis fans in the house. good memories.
4 years away from being born...
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
I wasnt born yet but the 68 special is one of the best specials ever! Elvis was Back!!
Three years away from being born.!!!
I wans't born yet.
I wasn't born but boy I wish I was.
I can imagine how exciting that must have been for fans who had followed Elvis' career closely since 1954 and all through the movie years to finally have Elvis back!
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
I was born in 1973, but the 68 Special is the reason that I become interested in Elvis. Norwegian TV aired the Special again in 1979 (I think..) and I was hooked right away. So for the last 30 years I have been a fan of "the TRUE King of MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT - Elvis!!
I was watching with my mom.
I was born ten years after. It was in 1992 when I saw it first on TV. Now I have it on DVD, one of my favourites. The best TV show ever!
My page on YouTube and on MyElvisWorld:
http://www.youtube.com/cibetty, http://www.myelvisworld.com/cibetty
Not born yet.
it was the best show ever on T.V., I remember it like yesterday. my gosh, I was glued to the set. good thing no one tried to turn the channel!! LOL
I had just got out of the hospital and I was happy as happy can possibly get,
I refused to lay in my bed(no TV in that day for every room) LOL
I parked on the couch and was thrilled by my greatest love, Elvis! He was more handsome than I had remembered.
Just 21 and dazed by his every move! I got well quickly!
"I just wanna be......your Teddy Bear"
I was minus 15... Yet when I first saw fragments of it in 'This is Elvis' I thought: wow... the spark was back again multiplied, matured and deepened. That was pure, raw ELVIS.
Poke a little sock salad...
I was 3/4 away from being 1 year old when the 68 Special was aired on tv
I do recall my parents saying the remember watching it....I guess I was probably asleep, crying, or filling up my diaper
"Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male"
I was 14 and I watched it with my family... exciting moment.
My step dad did not even make fun of him (which he usually did when I mentioned his name)
Work in Progress!

Allegiant Adds Florida Flight From MidAmerica
More than 100 passengers rode Wednesday on Allegiant Airlines' first flight from the metro-east to Sanford, Fla.
Florida is back in the flight plan for MidAmerica St. Louis Airport.
More than 100 passengers rode Wednesday on Allegiant Airlines' first flight from the metro-east to Sanford, Fla., which is near Orlando.
"We're thrilled with the support that we have had for our flights to Las Vegas," said Allegiant spokesman Eric Woodson. "Hopefully our flights to Florida will be just as successful."
Woodson said Allegiant's Las Vegas flights average 85 percent capacity. The company flies MD-80 jets that can carry about 150 people.
Passengers were treated to a party at the airport complete with cake and, to set the mood for central Florida, performances by the Disney Radio Dancers.
Free airline tickets were given away, including a set of 10 for round trip passage on Allegiant given to 7-year-old Ella Prickett of Swansea.
Ella, a second-grader at Wolf Branch, suffers from neuroblastoma, a cancer that began in her right adrenal gland and spread to her bones and bone marrow. She accepted the tickets with plans to raffle them off to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network, a group that raises money to pay for treatment of children at Children's Hospital and Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center.
"Our family really wants to give something back after all they have done for us," said Ella's mom, Laurie Prickett.
Traveler Suzanne Moore was on the inaugural flight. She said she was thrilled to have an alternative to waiting in lines at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
"My husband has trouble with his leg and he wasn't looking forward to walking all over the big airport," said Moore, of Decatur. "This is perfect. It's so easy to get in and get to your plane.
Allegiant isn't the first airline to fly to Sanford out of MidAmerica. TransMeridian Airline flew the same route until September when the company went bankrupt.
Woodson said his company's leaders plan to succeed where TransMeridan Failed by keeping costs low and not over extending themselves.
"We are flying to places that have a lot of demand and at times of the week where the flights are wanted," Woodson said.
Allegiant's flights to Florida depart on Wednesday and Saturday at 6:05 p.m.

FDIC Consumer News
Winter 2008/2009 – Special Edition: Managing Your Money in Good Times and Bad
When the Economy Cools Down, Financial Scams Heat Up
"Crooks are taking advantage of the difficult economy, including tighter credit and higher unemployment, to trick people into accepting fraudulent and deceptive offers that seem beneficial on the surface but actually could cost a lot of money or result in identity theft," said Michael Benardo, manager of the FDIC's Financial Crimes Section.
Here are some common schemes being reported, followed by tips for protecting yourself.
Mortgage rescue schemes: Con artists are preying on hard-pressed homeowners in the current depressed housing market. David M. Nelson, a fraud examiner in the Financial Crimes Section, said that companies posing as foreclosure specialists "promise miracles," such as falsely claiming they can save a home from foreclosure by lowering the loan balance, interest rate and monthly payments, and "all for a large upfront fee."
Instead, distressed homeowners should contact their mortgage loan servicer to request a modification of their loan at no cost (see When Payments Are a Problem). "It's very important for qualified borrowers to understand that the industry best practice is loan modifications free-of-charge," said FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair. "They do not need to spend thousand of dollars to get help."
Before contacting your lender or loan servicer, though, think about getting help from a trained, reputable housing counselor who can help you for no charge or a small fee. Find one through groups such as NeighborWorks America (www.nw.org) or by calling 1-888-995-HOPE (4673). Or, for a referral to a counseling agency certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), visit www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm or call 1-800-569-4287.
To see a Federal Trade Commission warning about foreclosure rescue scams, go to www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre42.shtm.
Other credit-related scams involving upfront fees: Several of these have been circulating since problems emerged in mortgage and other credit markets. In some cases, con artists claim they can "guarantee" loan approvals to people with credit problems — in exchange for a big upfront fee. Of course, after collecting the nonrefundable fee, the loan falls through.
"No legitimate lender can promise a loan without looking at a borrower's financial condition," explained Michael L. Jackson, an Associate Director of the FDIC's Division of Supervision and Consumer Protection. "And in most cases, loan fees are typically collected at the end of the lending process, not at the beginning."
For guidance about avoiding scams involving credit counseling for people behind on their bills, see When a Debt Collector Calls.
Work-at-home scams: Thieves prey on people who have lost their jobs or need extra cash by sending unsolicited e-mails and running advertisements on the Internet and in newspapers. The ads offer flexible, easy part-time jobs working at home and involve a lot of pay for doing very little, such as processing payments or shipping items. These offers may seem especially attractive if you've just lost your job. What can go wrong? Here are two common scenarios.
Your "employer" may steal your identity and commit fraud by obtaining your bank account and Social Security numbers, perhaps as part of a fake job application. Or, you could face major losses if your new boss requests that you deposit a check or electronic transfer into your bank account and wire funds out of your account (after deducting your "commission"), and later your bank tells you that the original deposit was bogus and you're responsible for the money.
According to Nelson, "If the check or electronic deposit is fraudulent, you will likely lose the money wired out of your account, plus you may have difficulty opening a new bank account until your name is cleared from any suspicion that you were a willing partner in any fraud."
For more information about work-at-home scams and a complaint form, go to www.IC3.gov, a Web site established by the U.S. Department of Justice and the National White Collar Crime Center.
"Mystery shopper" scams: It's common for businesses and consulting firms to pay consumers to visit and shop at their retail locations or dine at their restaurant and then submit confidential reports about the experience. These part-time workers are known as "mystery shoppers" and "secret shoppers." But fraud artists are cashing in by setting up fake mystery-shopping programs that look very real, including job applications (requesting Social Security numbers) and professional-looking Web sites, and then convincing new recruits to wire money using funds from their own checking account.
Here's a typical scenario. Your first assignment as mystery shopper is to deposit a $2,000 cashier's check into your bank account — supposedly to cover a $1,900 purchase you're about to make for your new part-time "job," plus a $100 advance payment for your services. You're then instructed to withdraw $1,900 in cash from your bank account, take it to a particular store to have the funds wired to a person (a "colleague" of your new employer) in Canada. Later, you'll go home and fill out an evaluation of the store's money-transfer service. But eventually, perhaps a couple of weeks later, the cashier's check you deposited will be returned as counterfeit, and you will be responsible for the money you withdrew from your account.
"Part of what makes this swindle successful is that the criminals stress that the entire assignment must be 'confidential,' from ordering the money transfer at the store to filling out the evaluation form," explained Millie Spencer, a financial crime specialist with the FDIC.
Fraudulent e-mails, calls and faxes related to bank failures, mergers or other current events: Crooks are pretending to be from a financial institution in the news (perhaps one that has acquired a failed institution) or a government agency (such as the FDIC) asking for consumers to supply personal information, such as account and Social Security numbers or passwords. Don't fall for this trick.
"For example, your bank, credit card issuer and any other reputable business you deal with won't call or e-mail you to confirm account numbers or passwords because it will already have that information," said Nelson.
False or misleading sales of certificates of deposit (CDs): Bank CDs issued by FDIC-insured institutions have long been considered to be among the safest financial investments available because of the deposit insurance protection. However, with the slow economy resulting in relatively low interest rates on insured CDs, savers looking for high yields may be tempted by Internet or newspaper advertisements offering unusually high returns. While most advertising for CDs is accurate and legitimate, beware that some may be misleading or even untrue.
"Look very closely at the fine print in those eye-catching ads," said Richard M. Schwartz, an FDIC attorney who specializes in consumer issues. "Some high-yielding accounts have strings attached, like a requirement that you buy insurance or annuities you may not want. Other accounts may be deceptively advertised as FDIC-insured accounts but they're not, and that's a violation of federal law."
In general, how can you protect yourself from financial scams and rip-offs?
To learn more about common financial frauds and how to protect yourself, see back issues of FDIC Consumer News (online at www.fdic.gov/consumernews) and our multimedia presentation "Don't Be an Online Victim" (at www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/guard).

The world was stunned by the hijacking of Air France flight 139 en route from Tel Aviv to Paris on June 27, 1976. Among the Jewish hostages from Israel, Europe, and the US is ten-year old Choni Binder, who is at the center of an escalating dispute between two families. Flying alone to France to meet unknown relatives, his plane is overtaken by Arab and German terrorists and diverted to Uganda. Fearing for his life, he discovers the shocking secret of his life � and wonders who he can ever trust again.
This is a story of good intentions turned sour as Dinah Binder, Choni�s devoted mother, and Chaim, his caring yet distant father, struggle to appease Moshe and Rivka Leah Kahn, the aged and agitated grandparents. At stake is Choni�s true identity.
Interrupted Journey weaves together powerful and fragile emotions in a struggle of loyalties, ethics, and questions of what is best for Choni. In a sweeping drama with a surprise ending, set against the backdrop of the famed Entebbe rescue operation, readers will find themselves held in suspense as young Choni struggles to makes sense of conflicts beyond his control.
Interrupted Journey is a gripping novel from Israeli author Rachel Schorr.

There Is Nothing More To See
Autumn Forgotten
Say Hello To My Little Friend: The Fujifilm X100s
It's day one with the new Fujifilm X100s and I'm excited to begin working with this tool. My first impression of this camera is that it's a solid, weighty object with a feel of quality and craftsmanship. Nothing feels particularly cheap or tacked-on. My one initial "first impression" hiccup with the build might be the dial on the back – it feels a bit small and it lacks indentations which would provide a tactile response to navigating the menus when it's rotated. Overall, this camera feels impressive; like the kind of thing I would pass down to my kids (if I had any) and if they turned into responsible adults one day who knew how to handle a quality instrument such as this. As soon as I load in a fresh battery I'll take it for a drive!
A Return To The Glory Days Of Photography: I'm Going Zoomless (and mirrorless) in 2014 with the Fujifilm X100s
In 2014 I plan to carry this everywhere I go, without fail: The Fujifilm X100s mirrorless digital camera. Built around a 23mm (35mm equivalent) f/1:2 prime lens, I will be forced to compose images without the luxury of "zooming in" to get the shot I want. Dorothea Lange said "A camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera," and I am hoping to sharpen my observation of and interaction with the world around me by using this tool. So begins my return to the glory days of photography.

Beautiful surprise bouquet
By Janni
from Bath
When ordering on-line, is difficult to judge length of stems. I sent a standard bunch as a thankyou for someone who was tirelessly there for me. She was so thrilled with these, she was unable to speak. When I saw them myself, the stems were in a very tall vase, the colours looked wonderful and there was a varied array of blooms. Very good value for money. Recommended to send to someone deserving.

I was frustrated to discover that only a vastly narrower range of products was available at the address I was sending to (Southwest Devon). This was a huge disappointment, especially as you are encouraged to look through the extensive product range before being told "actually, pretty much none of this is available for you". Big shame. Points docked for that.Still, the gift was nice quality, lasted well and was delivered on time. Points for that.

Responding to a controversial quote from "Black Swan" director Darren Aronofsky, Jason provides some solid advice for screenwriters looking to bring their scripts to comics with a ten-point checklist of things to look out for.
Full article here.
Responding to a controversial quote from "Black Swan" director Darren Aronofsky, Jason provides some solid advice for screenwriters looking to bring their scripts to comics with a ten-point checklist of things to look out for.
Full article here.
Actually, I disagree with some of the examples of "characters that 'wanted' to be comics"; many Kirby characters actually looked even better as cartoons, in my opinion. But overall, I agree with the article- comics written with a "Hollywood movie" mentality aren't very good. "Identity Crisis" for example, wanted really bad to be a murder mystery-drama, but even in that it failed. And yet they keep trying it (see Cry For Justice for a more recent example.)
nail on the head aaron. keep it coming.
how can you blame Joel SCHUMACHER ?
when you bring all the Bat-Family at once, don't be surprise if you can't decipher what is happening on screen...Schumacher did the penultimate blockbuster, all the movie-industry is contained in the hullah-oop move of camera that nobody can read but that solve everything...
nice quest by the way, did you just notice that some people have the right to publish BOOKS that aren't BOOK BUT READY-MADE SCREENPLAYS ? Have you heard of Chuck Palahniuk ? The story of a guy who wrote a book that became a film who started to write books for them to become movies ?...just...just cut-off the crap please, do we all look like tourists ?

I'd be curious to hear Aaron's opinion on comic creators who makes comics just to sell movies (Mark Millar, anyone? Top Cow?). Are they taking advantage of comics as much as the people who adapt a passed on screenplay?
"I figure the right thing starts at the beginning of the day, not after you've been caught." - John Crichton (Farscape)
I'm sending this article to a friend. He had wrote a screenplay for his Senior Project in college and now he wants to make it into a comic (after I had introduced him to a lot of critically acclaimed material and not just Watchmen). I don't think it's to use it as a stepping stone into Hollywood, and being the second or third choice isn't so bad as long as it's not just to make the first choice jealous. Anyway, like I said I'm sending this to him to make sure he can make sure he follows most of this list.
I like those ten questions. Why is it so hard to understand that comics are different from other mediums? Unfortunately both comics and video games suffer from being considered second class art forms.
"I mean how successful were Kick-Ass or Scott Pilgrim? Those were fringe comics, right, and they were basically turned in to big pictures."
I don't understand this quote at all. They are hugely successful comics, Scott Pilgrim is consistently one of the best selling series every month, while Kick-Ass had Millar and Romita behind it, and the movies pretty much bombed. I think it's the other way around, fringe movies, big comics.
Pull List: Action Comics, Green Lantern, GLC, GL: New Guardians, Justice League, The Flash, Batman Inc, Batman, Nightwing, Batman & Robin, Dial H, Animal Man, Frankenstien, Earth-2
If they need that mangaka Kenichi Sonoda is the right man for the job. He does those very well in Gunsmith Cats.2. Does it prominently feature a car chase or a meticulously choreographed John Woo-style shootout? Sorry, but we dont do those very well. If you insist on proceeding, better first find yourself an amazing artist. But Im afraid Sterankos not returning your calls. Thanks but no thanks.
I've had several "movie types" contacting me to adapt their screenplay to a "graphic novel". Even had a stuntman contact me...neat, huh?
I've witnessed one "screenwriter" basically punish an artist on every panel of every page of a 96 page graphic novel because the shots weren't lining up with what was in his head. And this even after he hired an Art Director to oversee the work.
11. Be authentic in your pursuit. You'll get more respect that way. Ask for help and do the right thing. Know that the visual language of comics is not the same visual language of film. If you want, hire a storyboard artist to storyboard your movie...it's a lot cheaper than giving up rights and you don't have to worry about printing costs, shipping, marketing etc.
Dear Jason,
Thanks for the article and bringing the interview with Mr Aronofsky's to my attention - I do find the points he raises stimulating but something grabbed me about your article that has made me actually write something on a forum, rather than lurk for about 15 years! I must be getting old... Anyway, I hope you don't mind if I debate this issue a little.
I feel the thrust of your email is that comic books can be fantastic mediums for expressing creativity, a wide range of emotions that goes beyond simply the visual and that it has a dedicated audience. Big thumbs up from me, I agree. And I get the point you're making is that artists should embrace the medium that they have adopted and not underestimate its potential by angling for another medium. Again I agree, and I also have noticed this trend towards the "cinematic".
But I don't feel I can agree that a 'we', in terms of a united audience, exists for comics or any medium (or if it does, it be helpful for you to clarify who the 'we comic folk' is (... are?...is?.... hmm not sure about that one...)
I don't feel like a minority, or that people use me as a stepping stone, in the same way that I don't feel I have any ownership of the medium or my interest resides solely in comics. If I had to measure my interests by consumption, I would be more of a film fan, but I don't pledge allegiance to either format over the other.
As both a comic book fan and a believer in the freedom of speech, I feel I must take issue with creating any sense of guidelines on creativity. And I know, I might be taking this a bit too seriously and the tone of your piece is humorous, but I also would not in anyway want to impose barriers towards someone telling a story.
I say... embrace this attention towards comics. If people write bad comics, let them! They might find the whole process helps them visualise their films, ask themselves questions they'd never would have thought about, engage with a public more immediately or gain strength in a new community.
I fully support Mr Aronofsky in his comic book work - I felt that The Fountain adaptation was great, and significantly enhanced my enjoyment of the film, which I felt suffered from minor technical limitations but was on the whole inspirational. If I was to take issue with this interview, perhaps we could analyse why the interviewer, Adam Batty, thinks that by moving into comics Mr Aronofsky is "narrowing his audience". I found that question slightly off, personally and would argue the opposite.
And to bongoes (gosh, that is so weird calling someone that... haha), I guess Mr Aronofsky is talking about the fact that Scott Pilgrim and Kick-Ass despite being popular comics, still remained underground in terms of the wider public's attention of them. The interviewer, Mr Batty, brings up a similar counterpoint to the comment you made, and Mr Aronofsky clarifies his position by stating that he personally had never heard of the titles, hence 'fringe' from his viewpoint.
Anyway, I have spent a lot of time typing and not a lot of time writing an essay I was supposed to submit... so I will sign off. But lastly, again thanks for bringing the 'Hope Lies at 24 frames per second' blog to my attention, it looks great. All I would say to you is that I'd like to see another checklist for screenwriters looking to get into both comics and movies with less 'no's and can't dos, and more of 'recommend', 'investigate' and 'consider'.
And please don't cry inside! You have enormous strength and you should see it as your mission to use your gift to impart good advice onto others. Everyone has to start somewhere.
best of luck,
"It seems like if you come up with an original script, in Hollywood its not as effective as a comic book. It doesnt even have to be successful as a comic; I mean how successful were Kick-Ass or Scott Pilgrim? Those were fringe comics, right, and they were basically turned in to big pictures."
Here, at the point that I emphasized, Aronofsky clearly states that Scott Pilgrim and Kick-Ass weren't successful as comics. He is then told otherwise and then changes his point into them not needing to be known to the populace as a whole.
And I think this attitude of Aronofsky's validates Aaron's; Aronofsky clearly views comic readers as an unimportant audience. He doesn't care if we don't read it, he just wants it to exist so he can make a movie about it. That's not exactly a sign of faith in the art form as anything other than a stepping stone to get what he wants.
Take these for example:
Knowing what not to do gives you more freedom to try other things without being as worried that you're doing something wrong. And in the case of the links I posted, they keep you from ticking off your collaborator.
20th Century Boys 7 Billion Needles Akira Battle Angel Alita Fullmetal Alchemist GANTZ Negima Oh My Goddess Ooku, Yotsuba&!
Amazing Spider-Man Batman Inc BPRD DMZ Fables Hellboy Orc Stain
Furthermore, he's one of the top 2 highest quality comics writers of the last decade. If he wants to play around creating original characters, that directors from the genius Vaughan, to Tony Scott are dying to work with, that's a testament to the quality level of his idea making and writing skills. (Of course for Kick-Ass, all he had to do was write my biography )
I think we already have enough passionless comics made by editorial committee out there. We really don't need Hollywood pasting their process over our medium to muck things up even more.
Lol @ saying Mark Millar only writes scripts to make movies.
Anyway one thing I hate is Hollywood companies/individuals that clearly have no interest in finishing stories. It's a complete slap in the face to comic book buyers.

We visit Quorn where the local store is closing down after more than 150 years.
PHYLLIS HILDER: Good Morning Karen. Two minutes to go. It's going to be a lovely day.
JAMES COVENTRY: Phyllis Hilder opens R. W. Foster's Great Northern Emporium at 9 o'clock every morning.
PHYLLIS HILDER: You've got to give the old girl time to get in and get organised.
JAMES COVENTRY: She's been doing it for most of her 66 years.
PHYLLIS HILDER: When I left school I can remember coming in. I came the day before my birthday.
JAMES COVENTRY: That was in 1952, 100 years after the store first opened in the settlement of Saltia just outside of Quorn.
On New Year's Day in 1879, Richard Witty Foster moved the business into town.
He quickly established the store as a retail centre for SA's northern communities.
PHYLLIS HILDER: We used to get people from up north come down and do their shopping.
And we'd send orders out on the 'Ghan' and so forth, up to Marree and different places.
JAMES COVENTRY: 79-year-old Mary Henery remembers travelling down from Woomera to Foster's as a child.
MARY HENERY: It was a big thing to come here. We used to look forward to that.
JAMES COVENTRY: It's a sentiment still shared by children today.
And tastes haven't changed much over the years.
MARY HENERY: Chocolate frogs, I think. Minties.
LORRAINE PUMPA: It's always full of history and you can wander around here for hours. Sometimes I do.
JAMES COVENTRY: But Foster's old-world charms haven't been enough to protect it from the competition around the corner.
JAMES COVENTRY: The bigger supermarkets in nearby Port Augusta have also had an impact.
PHYLLIS HILDER: A lot of people like to do their banking at a bank, and they go down, and I guess they decide they'll do their shopping down there.
LORRAINE PUMPA: You go to the stores in Port Augusta and you haven't got the same service.
You know you can come in here and the girls have a good laugh and they're always giving me nicknames because they know me so well.
JAMES COVENTRY: The laughter was replaced by tears this afternoon when Foster's closed down after 150 years of trading.
JAMES COVENTRY: For those who have remained loyal, shopping will never be the same again.
LORRAINE PUMPA: It will be a terrible feeling when I come up the street.
MARY HENERY: It's over now.
PHYLLIS HILDER: Thanks for being me workmate. See youse.

Our Black Linen Doublet worn with our 15th Century Shirt, Burgundy Cotton Joined Hose, Ribbon Garters and Turnshoes
About our 15th Century Doublet
Forasmuch that the excessive vanity and wickedness of young men has grown to a very great height, so that many foul customs of dress are now found throughout every land. One thing in particular is the shameful practice of wearing the [doublet] cut of such brevity so that not only is boasted the turn and fullness of the calf, but that the port-piece and very curve of the buttock might thereby be revealed.
From a 1423 French ecclesiastical condemnation of men's fashions.
In the 1340s, the short, tight cotehardie had rocked the sensibilities of Churchman, who were aghast at men showing off their legs. But their admonitions proved little more effective than a 1990s father's horror at his daughter's low-rise jeans, and in much the same manner, the more they flustered, the more they were ignored! By the early 15th century, the cotehardie had become so short that the old style of chausses and braies had to be replaced with new joined hose that pointed directly to the cotte. This was the birth of the doublet, the dramatic, and final reinvention of men's fashions in the Middle Ages that would give rise to the fashions of the Renaissance.
Besides its close fit, the doublet retained many elements of its predecessor, particularly the tight, buttoned forearms, and its suitability for production in both simple and sumptuous fabrics. Besides its short length, however, one of the doublet's distinctive trademarks in this period were full upper arms, raised or "puffed" shoulders, and simple tie closures down the front. We have chosen to replicate all of these elements in our doublet, which based on a mid-century style that developed in the wealthy and fashion-conscious cities of Italy, spread into Austria and southern Germany and from there became popular throughout central and western Europe. We have these style elements are extremely flattering to most figures - with a smooth, tailored silhouette and broad shoulders. Like the originals, our doublet is of a cut that was popular with the nobility and the wealthy mercantile classes, and is produced in both rich brocades and all-natural wools in variety of colors. The pointing holes on the short skirt, or peplum, are designed to perfectly match those of our joined hose. Perhaps more than at any other point in the Middle Ages, clothing in this period was about dramatically standing out from the crowd. To help you do just that, we recommend you add our woolen hood worn as a chaperone to complete the look of the dashing courtier or man of means.

Also, despite how the colors may appear on your monitor the same color names in Wool, Silk and Linen are different and do not exactly coordinate.

The Senate approved a last-minute compromise plan to raise the nation's debt ceiling, which will impose sweeping new spending cuts and will narrowly avert an unprecedented national default.
The House of Representatives approved the measure Monday by a 269-161 vote, overcoming opposition from liberal Democrats and tea party Republicans. Passage in the Senate required a supermajority of 60 votes.
The measure needs to be signed into law by President Barack Obama before the end of Tuesday.
The agreement - reached Sunday by Obama and congressional leaders - calls for up to $2.4 trillion in savings over the next decade, raises the debt ceiling through the end of 2012 and establishes a special congressional committee to recommend long-term fiscal reforms.

What can explain an otherwise decent person accepting obscene amounts of money?
Giant Communist Robot wrote: they are paid for the value they bring to their product. Same with big execs, except instead of popularity they bring ability to work.
In this country recently, the CEO and Board of one of our shareholder-owned power companies wanted pay rises. It was pointed out that their counterparts in at least one State-owned power company got considerably less and did at least as good a job in a bigger company. The rises are on hold.

Welcome to the BSG
Frontline Gastroenterology
Frontline Gastroenterology (FG) aims to accelerate the adoption of best practice in the fields of gastroenterology and hepatology. It is multidisciplinary and focuses on the needs of patients and the professionals caring for them. The principal criterion for publication is potential impact on patient care. FG is an official journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology.
Editor: Dr Anton Emmanuel.
Gut is a leading international peer-reviewed journal in gastroenterology and hepatology, with an established reputation for publishing first class clinical research of the alimentary tract, liver, biliary tree and pancreas.
Gut delivers up-to-date, authoritative, clinically oriented coverage. Regular features include articles by leading authorities, reports on the latest treatments for diseases, reviews and commentaries.
Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics.
Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics is an international journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. AP&T is particularly interested in therapies and diagnostics: clinical trials, identification of novel therapeutic targets, epidemiology, and drug safety.

Alcohol-Related Disease
Alcohol-Related Disease: meeting the challenge of improved quality of care and better use of resources sets out a practical plan for implementing a national strategy to improve services for patients that repeatedly attend hospital because of their dependence on alcohol and associated health problems. Its recommendations aim to improve the effectiveness of hospital services for patients who are alcohol dependent and who present at hospital in several ways, often through A&E. The paper calls for a dedicated Alcohol Team and a lead clinician at consultant level. It suggests ways of coordinating alcohol policies across hospitals and local areas.
Launched at the 2013 BSG Annual Meeting in Glasgow on 26th June, the IBD Registry will provide the first ever UK-wide repository of anonymised IBD adult and paediatric patient data for prospective audit and research purposes.

BSG Commissioning Guidance
Together with a range of professional and patient group partners - BAPEN, BASL, the IBS Network, Crohn's & Colitis UK, Coeliac UK and British Liver Trust - the BSG has published commissioning guidance. We hope this will guide commissioners in developing services and assist our members in engaging with commissioners.
UK IBD Registry
The IBD Registry will provide a means of collecting anonymised IBD patient data from across the UK for the first time. It will be fed by clinical information entered via a choice of methods: existing systems, a web portal, and a bespoke patient management system (PMS) that facilitates data entry during the consultation.
Our aim is that the UK IBD Registry dataset will not only become a unique clinical and research resource, but also help inform national service development planning and fulfil national audit, IBD standards and quality improvement benchmarks. Moreover, local reports will provide immediate benefits to clinical teams, patients and commissioners, for example by demonstrating quality for revalidation and reporting. The PMS also features a summary screen with all major aspects of a patient's disease shown at a glance, and patient-centred documents that are generated during the consultation.
For more information contact Simone Cort on 020 7563 9997 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Taster Membership
The BSG has launched a taster membership scheme for medical students/foundation doctors . Benefits of this scheme include access to a tailored microsite on the BSG website, with educational content, political commentary and an informal mentoring scheme.

Groovy tries to be as natural as possible for Java developers. We've tried to follow the principle of least surprise when designing Groovy, particularly for developers learning Groovy who've come from a Java background.
Here we list all the major differences between Java and Groovy.
Common gotchas
Here we list the common things you might trip over if you're a Java developer starting to use Groovy
- == means equals on all types. In java there's a wierd part of the syntax where == means equality for primitive types and == means identity for objects. Since we're using autoboxing this would be very confusing for Java developers (since x == 5 would be mostly false if x was 5 . So for simplicity == means equals() in Groovy. If you really need the identity, you can use the method "is" like foo.is(bar). This does not work on null, but you can still use == here: foo==null.
Things to be aware of
- semicolon is optional. Use them if you like (though you must use them to put several statements on one line).
- the return keyword is optional
- you can use the this keyword inside static methods (which refers to this class)
- methods and classes are public by default.
- protected in Groovy is the equivalent of both package-protected and protected in Java. i.e. you can have friends in the same package - or derived classes can also see protected members.
- inner classes are not supported at the moment. In most cases you can use
closures instead
- the throws clause in method heads is not checked by the Groovy compiler, because there is no difference between checked and unchecked exceptions
New features added to Groovy not available in Java
- closures
- native
syntax for lists and maps
- GroovyMarkup and GPath support
- native support for regular expressions
- polymorphic
iteration and powerful switch statement
- dynamic and static typing is supported - so you can omit the type declarations on methods, fields and variables
- you can embed expressions inside strings
- lots of new helper methods added to the JDK
- simpler syntax for writing
beans for both properties and adding event listeners
